BOOK ERNIE MARISCAL TO SPEAK

Ernie Mariscal — United States Army Veteran

With more than 21 years of dedicated military service and two combat tours in Iraq, Ernie Mariscal brings a powerful message of resilience, accountability, leadership, healing, and maximizing the opportunities life provides.

Ernie's story is not about having a perfect life. It is about overcoming an imperfect past and refusing to allow trauma, failure, or circumstances to determine the future.

Topics I Speak On

  • Child abuse and overcoming childhood trauma
  • Dropping out of high school and finding a way back
  • Being a rebellious child and projecting pain and anger onto others
  • Dealing with trauma as both a child and an adult
  • Transitioning from military service to civilian life
  • Self-medicating and unhealthy ways of coping with life
  • Overcoming suicidal thoughts and finding purpose
  • Personal accountability and making better choices
  • Leadership and workplace success
  • Maximizing the opportunities life provides
  • Turning adversity into purpose

My Message

I don't come to speak to people because I believe I am better than them.

I come because I've been there.

I've experienced abuse. I've experienced homelessness. I dropped out of high school. I made bad choices. I struggled with trauma, addiction, depression, and finding my purpose after the military.

But I also learned that your past does not have to dictate your future.

Every day we wake up, we have two things:

Opportunities and choices.

What we choose to do with them can change the direction of our lives.

My mindset isn't simply to survive life.

My mindset is to maximize life every day.

Speaking Experience

Ernie delivers inspiring and motivational presentations ranging from 15 to 45 minutes, tailored to schools, corporations, military organizations, veteran groups, community organizations, and special events.

He has spoken at million-dollar corporations and hundreds of schools across the United States and has shared speaking events with actor and Army Veteran Vincent “Rocco” Vargas.

If you are looking for a speaker who brings authenticity, real-life experience, humor, vulnerability, and a message of hope, Ernie would be honored to share his story with your organization.
